The only thing I know of is the use of a simple rewriting rule to cope
with two-component bang paths. For example, the rule

^([^!]+)!(.+)@some\.dom\.ain$ $2@$1

rewrites addresses of the form A!B as B@A. You need to have your domain
in there as well, because Exim will first of all turn the unqualified
address A!B into A!B@qualify_domain before trying to rewrite it.

If you have a limited length of bang path you could extend the regular
expression to be a bit more clever, I suppose.
